We put a Viking 28 aground while trying to sail up a narrow channel. You
could look overboard and see a minefield of very large boulders and we were
in it. Since the wind was from the north we were able to use both sails to
steer the boat in a westerly direction. The wind and combined weight of the
crew keeled the boat quite a bit and we crashed and banged bouncing over one
boulder to another until we were free. Then we raced back to the yacht club
to lift the 5500 lb boat out of the water and hanging over the dock so we
could inspect it.
Minimal damage...but it sure sounded bad.
